Good stuff and not so good stuff. Probably excellent for a winter getaway!

The best thing about this property was the interior, i.e., the size and the beautiful, tasteful, unique interior decorations and layout. The spacious back deck lighting was also a huge bonus! The motion sensor lights in the bedroom(s) were a buzzkill when trying to sleep. There should be an override for that and/or instructions on how to deactivate that "feature". There were cameras with scotch tape over them which wasn't awful, but just weird. The outside has much room for improvement. The lawn appeared not to have been mowed in over a month . . . the grass all around the house was almost to our knees which did not bode well for the lawn games we brought, i.e., cornhole, ring toss, etc. The back deck pictured in the listing was beautiful . . . some years ago, but in reality today the deck has not been cared for since. The signage on the property and the different sections was broken or missing. As the time grew closer we made multiple attempts to contact the host for more intricate information on the layout as we sought to find out the best way for a wheelchair-bound guest to visit us on the back deck. We never got an answer, but we figured it out ourselves upon arrival.

Amazing home with eclectic interior decor

We came for a bachelorette weekend and had a great time! The house is beautifully decorated and so interesting. So much space to spread out and relax. Great place for visiting vineyards and relaxing hikes. I would highly recommend this home for your stay!

Great house for our family!

The house was the perfect size and the perfect amenities (pool table, huge backyard deck, large dining table, etc.) for our group of 8. Area was fun for exploring local wineries, cute shops, and quaint towns. We’d love to return again some day!

An excellent experience worthy of your consideration

Our stay at the property went quite well. I'm grateful that we were able to use this home to accommodate my close friends and out-of-town guests for my wedding at Rosemont. The decor, cleanliness, and living space of this property really made this whole experience stand out. This truly is a beautiful and well-maintained property and I would highly recommend it to travelers thinking of visiting Berryville.

The unique Outpost

A very appealing quaint place to stay. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. It accommodated my family well. It does need some curb appeal. I reached out to the host Renee' twice, asking about a Christmas tree...did not get a response. Checking in and out was very easy. Thank you. I would reccomend it to my friends.

Cute Home; Misleading Property Listing

The ambience and decorations of this property were beautiful. A little misleading as the home is located in a suburban area, not remote. Also, we were asked to check-in later than 4pm, but even upon arrival, the home was dirty. Their were food crumbs on the dining room table, random pieces of candy on the window sill, bath mats hadn't been washed...Also, upon booking, we requested access to one of the en suite rooms. We asked for the codes, received them, and then when we entered, discovered they were absolutely filthy and supposedly not a part of the reservation...although that had never been communicated prior. Additionally, the codes for the keypads were changed overnight without us being notified and we were locked out. Overall, beautiful property that could be better managed.

Not the best place for a Bachelorette weekend

When I rented this property I let the property Owner know that this will be for a bachelorette weekend. In the listing it does say that there are other rental properties on site but that the rental properties are not connected. This is simply not true. We are horrified to discover that the rental property shares a door and walls with the additional rental properties. The lock was on their side of the door and could unlock it and come into our space. Our rental included a deck but the other renters continued to complain when our party was outside or anywhere near their door. It created a lot of tension and unhappiness during our weekend. The kitchen was also in pretty rough shape. The house is beautifully decorated and very charming. It was just a big disappointment about the lack of transparency regarding the other rental properties.

Beautiful Home for Family Winter Adventure

The house is a lovely updated farmhouse, and the décor is very stylish and unique. The beds and bedding are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are all completely updated and very nicely done. We had a wonderful family gathering here for three nights in December, with two couples and seven millennials. Everything we needed was provided, and the kitchen, dining area, indoor fireplace, and excellent game room got plenty of use. We especially enjoyed the comfortable seating around the large indoor fireplace for family time and games. The kitchen is open and functional, although the cabinets could use some renovation and organization. The house is situated on the edge of a less well-kept part of Berryville close to other homes and close to an older industrial section. Once you arrive at the house, the setting is fairly private, although other homes are visible. In warmer weather, the huge lighted deck and outdoor firepit would have been really fun. Berryville is a good location for day trips to go hiking and exploring. We visited Harpers Ferry, hiked at Sky Meadows State Park, and visited a few breweries, a winery, and an antique store. The Outpost is a great place for quality family time! Note that we did have to ask for help with unlocking and accessing the fourth bedroom, which is a beautifully appointed master suite with full bath and king-sized bed.

Misrepresented and in disrepair

We have just come back from our stay at this place and we need to share a few things that impacted our stay in a negative way: 1. The place was dirty and in disrepair. We found a good amount of trash both inside and out around the property. Paper, plastic bags, clothing items, empty cans, plastic utensils etc. Inside we found small zip lock bags around the pool room with food remnants. The kitchen was dirty especially the stove along with dishes and utensils not washed and dirty. 2. The icemaker was broken and there was a huge block of ice in the freezer and in the maker and we couldn't use it. 3.There was no Introduction Welcome Book or something to tell us where things might be, directions about things etc. 4. For a house of this size and price that advertised for 10 people, we did not have enough utensils, glasses, or platrs and spent time washing dishes so everyone could have what they needed. 5. There was very little toilet paper 1 roll, no paper towels, dish towels, or trash bags so we had to go out and buy that along with ice. 6. One of our guests is a fireman and at least 2 smoke alarms were broken. He shared that this is in direct violation of fire codes. 7. We were either freezing or roasting depending on which part of the house we were in. 8. There was broken glass and a broken frame on the stairwell so we were worried about people getting cut. 9. There were a LOT of completely melted candles everywhere on trays and tables. All that was left were the wicks, it was weird. Candle wax was everywhere and we couldn't use the coffee table surfaces. 10. The bikes that were offered are not rideable at all. We were excited about a family ride and pumped all of the tires but they would not hold the air as some of the tires have gone bad. 11. We feel the property and landscape is misrepresented a great deal. We expecting a nice Christmas gathering and respite but the property overlooks a suburban neighborhood and is next to the railroad. The house and property is in disrepair and needs a good amount of work. There are extreme safety and comfort concerns as well. This was all shared with the owners but no one bothered to respond. We are a family of hard-working individuals and we were just looking for a relaxing getaway and we do not feel the property provided that at all.

We were very disappointed in the stay. We booked this house to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. The dishwasher, fireplaces, and heat was not in working order. The staff tried to make things right but without these things it was not the experience we had hoped for. Apparently the other person renting the room next to us was not happy about the accommodations as well and were refunded. We were given $375 back but considering how much we spent it did not seem like enough compensation. Sadly we will never stay here again.

Lovely space for a family Thanksgiving gathering

We booked the main house plus three additional units for four nights to host a Thanksgiving celebration with extended family. The location was handy for those flying in for the event and offered us great options for day trips. The main house had plenty of space for cooking, eating, and hanging out together. The teens loved the pool table, and we all loved sitting in front of a cozy fire in the family room and catching up on family news.

House had no Heating and Property Owner/Manager was unresponsive

We arrived and found the heating was not working. The thermostat registered 45 degrees. We attempted countless times to contact the Owner and contact Vrbo to contact the owner to no avail. Our stay is over and we have still to hear back from anyone. Vrbo was terrible to deal with considering we were on hold and passed around from “team to team” for 4 hours. It was winter outside and the house was inhabitable without heating. I would avoid booking this property due to the heating and unresponsive host. I would avoid Vrbo after dealing with their customer support.

Wonderful

It is a beautiful property. And the property manager was very quick with a response about any inquiries. We were able to get two other suites after we arrived which was very helpful. And after the first night we could not get the heat to turn on so they brought us space heaters right away. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice place near Harper’s Ferry

This was a nice place for a group of 14 near to Harper’s Ferry. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and the common spaces were great for us all to spend time together in. The only problem we had is that the grill was out of propane and we couldn’t get ahold of the owner to get it refilled. We ended up cooking over the campfire which turned out fine. Some of the handles on the cabinets and the arms of some chairs were loose or broken - there’s a bit of shabbiness to the furniture in the common spaces that should be fixed.

Worked out great for wedding party

We rented for the bridal party to have a close location to the wedding events for the weekend. We had no issues and all seemed to enjoy their time. We rented the extra room as well so their was plenty of space to spread out for everyone. The property manager was quick to respond to our questions which was appreciated. Thank you.
